My name has always been DJ. I made it legal as soon as I was old enough to (yes, it was worth the effort). It's not initials. You don't need to know more ;-)

Yes, the capitalization is not normal, and yes, it causes problems (and occasionally, entertainment). Yes, my login is "dj". DJGPP's capitalization follows it (DJGPP/djgpp but not Djgpp). It does tend to weed out people and systems that make invalid assumptions about personal names.

I'm still around. Some parts of my site get updates when I want to share what I'm working on, which is mostly woodworking, CNC and 3D printing these days, plus technology updates for my house. I can mostly be found on the glibc mailing lists and a few cnc forums.

DJGPP itself doesn't get updated much these days because there's no need to ;-)

You're welcome!

The DJGPP project and its contributors were 100% volunteer. I'm sure some of the contributors took advantage of their involvement to obtain consulting gigs on the side (I did ;) but DJGPP itself didn't involve any. The Quake work was a swap; we helped them with optimizing, and they helped us with near pointers. Win-win!

Back then, DJGPP was a much bigger group, and most of the Quake kudos go to Charles Sandmann, author of cwsdpmi, who worked directly with Id to help them optimize their code for our environment.
